A BA Senior Engineer recently informed me that although the new tyres on Concorde are lighter than the previous ones, the Kevlar lining in the fuel tanks will have a significant effect upon passenger loads.
He says that BA believes it can still carry a full load (100 passengers) on its Heathrow - JFK route, but the Barbados and Antigua flights will only carry 88 passengers.
Can anyone from BA confirm this?
